AN APPROPRIATION BILL.

Our evening contemporary has, with
commendable enterprise, published a
sixteen column report of the late breach
of promise case. So copious was Il that
the major portion of two issues was con-
sumed in its publication. We have
heard that the readers of the paper
(more especially those of the fair SEX
have literally devoured the spicy details,
with zest which has equalled any they
have ever bestowed on the latest society
novel AT the same time they have in
voked the blessing alike of Venus and of
Mars upon the devoted heads of the phi
lanthropic editorial staff who catered in
such princely style for their intellectual
appetites. "Our next summary" ex-
claims the journal, "will contain a full
report (of p columns)' of this interest
ing case. Now, it is a noticeable cir
cumstance that this report which our en-
terprising friend has published is
verbatim copy of what appeared in the
ADVERTISER. That being so, there is
only one inference to be drawn, namely,
that it is simply reproduction of the
result of the labor and the brains and
the midnight oil expended by our staff
Yet there is not word of acknowledge
ment of the appropriation so deliberately
made. In view of these facts perhaps
it might be well during the coming SEES
sion to amend the copyright law to meet
similar contingencies which may arise
in the future. In the meantime we can
only render our contemporary bill for
this cool appropriation in the shape of
mild request that he will acknowledge
the source from whence the report was
derived. The Bulletin, being gener-
ally regarded as ga good mark, . will
doubtless pay the bill.

American IAterests i'm the Pacific
Islands.

Following are the resolutions adopted
by the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, October 10Th, referred to in yes
terday's issue
Resolved, That this Chamber views with
increasing interest the fact that the COM
merclal nations of Europe are under one
pretext or another taking possession of the
different groups OF islands in the Pacific
ocean, the last transaction of the kind be-
ing the seizure of the Samoan Islands by
the naval forces of the German Empire.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this
Chamber that the Government of the
United States through the State Depart
ment, should enter into such alliances
with the ruling authorities OF such islands
as have not already been taken possession
of, as will secure to this country the COM
mercial privileges which its position en-
titles it to in time of peace and for ports
of supply and rendezvous for It's vessels in
time of war.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the Secretary of State, at
tested by the President of this Chamber,
and with the seal of the Chamber affixed.

south Sea Island Labor.

Speaking of the South Sea Island
labor traffic, the Brisbane Courier
says: The Government have recently
had some trouble in connection with the
Polynesian labor traffic, differing some
what in character from previous
troubles. Some time age vessel re-
turned to the islands with a number of
kanakas, and the Captain was Obliged
for certain reasons, after landing several,
to charter another vessel to complete
the passages for these islanders was
transmitted to the colony, but it was
only after the Intervention of the Gov
eminent that the amount was paid by
the firm representing the owners of the
vessel. This affair raised the whole
question of repudiation-a question
which has caused considerable trouble
in the South Seas. 1t has been quite
usual circumstance for Queensland labor
vessels to put into trading stations in
the New Hebrides, and for the Captains
to obtain rations, stores and other sup
plies from the storekeepers and French
and other traders. Payment has been
made by an order given by the Captain
on the owners of the vessel in Queens
land. This order has been transmitted
to the colony through bank in the
usual way, and presented through the
Pacific Island Labor Office or direct to
the owners for payment. In almost
every case, we are informed, these
orders have been repudiated, and al
though the claim could be legally en-
forced the expenses would be SO heavy
that traders have had to relinquish any
attempt at remedy These repudia-
tions have been so frequent of late that
Mr.. E. II. Layard, the British Consul at
Noumea, New Caledonia, in $acknowl-
edging the receipt of the passage money
in the case referred to above, has stated
in emphatic terms to His Excellency the
Governor that "the reputation have
caused so strong feeling of resentment
among the traders in the New Hebrides
that they have resolved to afford no
more assistance TO Queensland vessels
in distress unless for ready payment"
The offenders in this respect have been
more frequently connected with vessels
owned in Mary borough than any other
port.

There are great many other things we

Maxwell. the murderer.

A dispatch from St. Louis, October
9Th, says: The Presidential party, the
Grand Army encampment and the great
exposition have not been the only at
fractions of this city within the past
fortnight. Maxwell, the little chloro-
former, has divided public notice with
the other novelties. The Jail has been
overrun with morbid sightseers. FROM
/ :45 until 8 o'clock every afternoon the
crowd has been immense. The number
has been SO great they have to be taken
through the institution in patches, all of
them having to remain in the screen
until their turn comes round. Every
solitary one of them wants to see Max
we'll, and he has consented to see most
of them. When they do see him the
questions some of them ask are rather
startling. care you the Teller what put
the other teller into the trunk? ?" is the
way some of them open the converse
ton. Maxwell replies that he is ac-
cused of the offense, and they generally
remark Gosh, you don't look like a
cnss wat I'D do it," The little foreigner
gains the sympathy of nearly all the
visitors who speak with him.

LONDON, July 80 The report that Mr. James
G. Blaine is i'll has been ascertained to be with
out foundation A telegram received from Kill
graston toaght states that he is in excellent
health and splendid spirits, and the life of the
company he is in. He has participated in all of
the excursions and other forms of amusement
and recreation that have been gotten up for his
delectation, and started to-day for a ffty-nile
trip with Mr and Mrs Carnegie, accompanied
by the members of his family who with him,
and other guests of his. Mr. Blaine has changed
his original plan of making tour of the CONT
nent and returning to the United States in the
spring, but is enjoying himself well in Scot
land that he has yielded to his unwillingness to
curtail his visit there and will consequently
shorten his tour elsewhere
A special from Bridge of Earne, Scotland, says
Mr.. Blaine mas done considerable writing the
past two days. It is said he intends to prepare
a magazine review of his travels, observations.
and impressions in Great Britain for public alton
at home. MIR. Carnegie also has abundant en-
ployment for his hours of confinement in the
house Having castigated Mr.. Carnegie until
tired the Conservative press are now raising
their hands against Mr.. Blaine. The provincial
papers abusing him roundly for what they
describe his political impudence at the Alex

shock Mr.. Blaine experienced this morning when
he read the following in the Edinburgh News
Though Mr.. Blaine consented. with Mr..
Carnegie, to patronize Alexander III at King
horn the other day, it appears that he draws
the line at accepting q presentation her
Majesty. He has assigned for declin-
ing the profered honor. but American paper
suggests explanation which. has at least
plausibility. We reminded that our dis
tinguished visitor has his eye on the presidency,
and it is predicted that when the next campaign
opens and he demands the suffrages OF his Hi
bernan fellow-citizens he will point proudly to
the fact that James g. Blaine scorned the pomp
and Dageantry of the British court and refused
to be introduced to the Queen of England and
Empress of India. And why. my countrymen?
Why, because in the veins of that great and
good man. upon his grandmother's side. runs a
pure current of Celtic blood, and he could
do homage to any oppressor of his down-trodden
country One is interested to learn that Mr..
Blaine is an Irishman well as a Scot"

Statistician Dodge Denies Certain Charges
9 to the Accuracy of His Figures.
WAsHINGToN July 31-Statistician Dodge,
OF the Department of Agriculture. in an inter
view published in the Post to-day, answers a
serious charge made against the department. by
some Eouthern journals to the effect that it has
in recent report overestimated the acreage of
the tobaccoleaf crop. The result of this it is
said, is to keep prices down and wrongfully
transfer millions OF money from holders to con-
sumers. from American producers and dealers
to foreign buyers. Mr.. Dodge in his interview,
does not mince matters, but stands up to his
estimate. He said: I'VE know that in some
States the tobacco-leaf acreage this year
is smaller than last year; but we are
quite confident the reduction is not large as
the critics claim. The estimate referred to, and
which was published from the Agricultural De-
partment tho 1st of July put the tobacco
acreage in the several tobacco States at from
five to thirty per cent. less than last year. We
think that is about the figure. Our estimates
were based upon the first set of reports received
upon the tobacco planting, and few weeks
hence we shall have another set of reports and
issue estimate which we hope will be as ex-
act as it is possible to make it. But up to the
present time / should suppose that have
been as we'll equipped to make reliable estimate
be. It has always been difficult to get
reliable statistics of the tobacco CROP 1t is the
crop upon which a heavy tax is levied. No
tobacco leaf can be sold by the farmer bu. tax
of cents per pound is paid upon it. The
amounts to much the cured tobacco the
farm is worth. OF course, the tax is paid by the
dealer and not by the farmer, but notwithstand
that the fact remains that account of the TAX
it is difficult TO get at the exact amount OF the
crops. The farmer does not wart to
tell you to the full figures.
As a general rule the reports we
have received have largely underesti-
mated the crops, and don't think we have
overestirnated in this case, accused.
Whatever inaccuracy may have fallen into is
more likely to be on the other SIDE The Louis
vile Courier Journal accepts the estimate Of
firm in the Tobacco trade fancy the agricult-
uraI department is well informed and dis
interested any firm in the tobacco trade.
But we are just now sending out special circu-
lars to the tobacco counties. in response to
which we expect to have full and accurate in
formation next month"

them really thought that favorable result
would be beneficial to them. There is much
the same view prevailing among clerks as to the
character and ability of the examinations. a
vast majority thinking them test of official
ability except to the one part which consists
of Office questions. One of them, in criticising
the examinations, says: 1.-The character of the
examination would indicate that were chill
